PlanetScale launches 'MySQL for Developers,' a free course delivering deep dives into schema design, indexing strategies, and query optimization. Designed specifically for application builders, the curriculum bridges foundational knowledge with real-world implementation challenges.

Oracle has integrated WebAssembly support into MySQL, enabling developers to run high-performance, sandboxed code directly within the database engine. This breakthrough allows complex data processing—from machine learning to real-time transformations—to execute closer to the data, eliminating costly context switches. The move signals a fundamental shift in how databases can be extended beyond traditional SQL constraints.

PlanetScale engineers reveal how they overcame fundamental limitations of vector indexing for relational databases, enabling efficient similarity searches on datasets larger than RAM while maintaining ACID guarantees. Their hybrid approach combines in-memory HNSW with innovative on-disk structures, solving critical challenges in transactional vector operations.
